“DOLLAR MAD.”
TRAVELLERS’ IMPRESSIONS. “My trip around the world has made me realise the importance of keeping Australia white,” said Mr Harry B. Cornwall, chief accountant of the Farmers’ and Graziers’ Co-operative. Grain, Insurance and Agency Company, Ltd., who returned to Sydney by the Sonoma. Other things that impressed him were the tendency everywhere to cooperation amongst producers, the cult of (he “almighty dollar” as the only thing that counts in America, and the fact that from the time one leaves Sydney until one gets back “it is nothing but tip, tip, tip.” Mr C. R. Ogden, furniture manufacturer, of Marrickvillc, who also returned jbv the Sonoma from a world tear, stales that he saw only one “ drunk ’’ in America. This access of virtue in the drinking line seems, however, to be offset by a widespread prevalence of robberies and hold-ups.
